182 Engine Rattle

[matc]

Hello all,

Ive done about 750 miles in my 182 and just started to give it some, but when I accelerate over about 4k there is a buzzing/rattle from the engine it doesnt sound anything mechanical but more of a vibrating noise??

Cheers

Mat

Thatll be the 4k exhaust rattle then!!

Do a search and loads will come up, known issue on 172s and 182s.

No it wont. its the engine cover.

tom, as you havent replied to my pm, are those engine pics in used car buyer yours, without the engine cover and the renaultsport in yellow?

And were all your comments in there yours? (like the one about 182 cup owners being without cc this summer and the 182 being faster than the cup?)
